Installation Warning PERSONAL INJURY POTENTIAL Remove all ice machine panels before lifting. Caution The ice machine head section must be protected if it will be subjected to temperatures below 32°F (0°C). Failure caused by exposure to freezing temperatures is not covered by the warranty. See “Removal from Service/Winterization”...
Location of Ice Machine The location selected for the ice machine must meet the following criteria. If any of these criteria are not met, select another location. • The location must be free of airborne and other contaminants. • Self contained air and water cooled - The air temperature must be at least 35°F (1.6°C), but must not exceed 110°F (43.4°C).
Installation on a Bin An ice deflector is required for all bin installations and is included with all Manitowoc bins. Order the appropriate deflector kit (30" or 48") for any bin without a deflector.. Warning PERSONAL INJURY POTENTIAL Do not operate any ice machine with the deflector removed.
Warning The 60-month compressor warranty (including the 36-month labor replacement warranty) will not apply if the Manitowoc Ice Machine, Condenser or QuietQube® Condensing Unit were not installed according to specifications. This warranty also will not apply if the refrigeration system is modified with a condenser, heat reclaim device, or other parts or assemblies not manufactured by Manitowoc Ice.
Calculating Allowable Lineset Distance Line Set Length The maximum length is 100' (30.5 m). Line Set Rise/Drop The maximum rise is 35' (10.7 m). The maximum drop is 15' (4.5 m). 35 FT. (10.7 M) MAXIMUM DISTANCE 35 ft. (10.7 m) Rise: The maximum distance the Condenser or Condensing Unit can be above the ice machine.
Page 30
Calculated Line Set Distance The maximum calculated distance is 150' (45.7 m). Line set rises, drops, horizontal runs (or combinations of these) in excess of the stated maximums will exceed compressor start-up and design limits. This will cause poor oil return to the compressor. Make the following calculations to make sure the line set layout is within specifications.

If the design of the condenser meets the specifications, Manitowoc’s only approval is for full warranty coverage to be extended to the Manitowoc manufactured part of the system. Since Manitowoc does not test the condenser in conjunction with the ice machine, Manitowoc will not endorse, recommend, or approve the condenser, and will not be responsible for its performance or reliability.
Page 33
Internal Condenser Volume The multi-circuit condenser internal volume must not be less than or exceed that used by Manitowoc (see chart on next page). Do not exceed internal volume and try to add charge to compensate, as compressor failure will result.
Page 34
The ice machine and line sets come with quick connect fittings. It is recommended that matching quick connects (available through Manitowoc Distributors) be installed in the multi-circuit condenser, and that a vapor “holding” charge, 5 oz. (150 ml), of proper refrigerant be added to the condenser prior to connection of the ice machine or line set to the condenser.

Final Analysis - Self-contained Air, Water & Remote Condenser Models The column with the highest number of Checkmarks identifies the refrigeration problem. COLUMN 1 - HARVEST VALVE LEAKING Replace the valve as required. COLUMN 2 - LOW CHARGE/TXV STARVING Normally, a starving expansion valve only affects the freeze cycle pressures, not the harvest cycle pressures.
Page 154
COLUMN 3 - TXV FLOODING OR REFRIGERANT OVERCHARGE A loose or improperly mounted expansion valve bulb causes the expansion valve to flood. Check bulb mounting, insulation, etc., before changing the valve. Verify refrigerant amount is correct by weighing recovered refrigerant before replacing a TXV. COLUMN 4 - COMPRESSOR Replace the compressor.

Page 178
WATER TROUGH WILL NOT FILL Step 1 Verify water is supplied to the ice machine. Step 2 Scroll to Service/Diagnostics/Inputs and press down arrow until Wtr Low and Wtr High are displayed. Yes is displayed - Control board is receiving a sensing water signal.
ICE THICKNESS PROBE (INITIATES HARVEST) FUNCTION The ice thickness probe senses ice on the evaporator and signals the control board to start a harvest cycle. SPECIFICATIONS Freeze Time Lock-In Feature The ice machine control system incorporates a 6 minute freeze time lock-in feature. This prevents the ice machine from short cycling in and out of harvest.
Page 180
Ice Thickness Check The ice thickness probe is factory-set to maintain the ice bridge thickness at 1/8 in. (3 mm). NOTE: Make sure the water curtain/splash shields are in place when performing this check. It prevents water from splashing out of the water trough. Remove the curtain to make an adjustment, then replace immediately after the adjustment is made.

HARVEST ASSIST AIR PUMP FUNCTION The air pump helps break the vacuum between the sheet of ice and the evaporator which results in shorter harvest cycles. SPECIFICATIONS 115 Volt or 230 Volt - matches the ice machine voltage. CHECK PROCEDURE 1.
COMPRESSOR ELECTRICAL DIAGNOSTICS The compressor does not start or will trip repeatedly on overload. Check Resistance (Ohm) Values NOTE: Compressor windings can have very low ohm values. Use a properly calibrated meter. Perform the resistance test after the compressor cools. The compressor dome should be cool enough to touch (below 120°F/49°C) to assure that the overload is closed and the resistance readings will be accurate.
Page 193
CHECK MOTOR WINDINGS TO GROUND Check continuity between all three terminals and the compressor shell or copper refrigeration line. Scrape metal surface to get good contact. If continuity is present, the compressor windings are grounded and the compressor should be replaced. COMPRESSOR DRAWING LOCKED ROTOR To determine if the compressor is seized, check the amp draw while the compressor is trying to start.
DIAGNOSING START COMPONENTS If the compressor attempts to start, or hums and trips the overload protector, check the start components before replacing the compressor. Capacitor Visual evidence of capacitor failure can include a bulged terminal end or a ruptured membrane. Do not assume a capacitor is good if no visual evidence is present.
Page 195
PTCR The PTCR allows current to flow through the start winding at compressor startup. Current flow heats the ceramic discs in the PTCR. The electrical resistance increases with temperature and stops all except a trickle of current flow through the start winding. The small flow of current keeps the PTCR hot (260°F/127°C) and the start winding out of the circuit.
Page 196
PTCR Operation Check 1. Visually inspect the PTCR. Check for signs of physical damage. NOTE: The PTCR case temperature may reach 210°F (100°C) while the compressor is running. This is normal. Do not change a PTCR just because it is hot. 2.
Refrigeration Components HEAD PRESSURE CONTROL VALVE Manitowoc remote systems require head pressure control valves with special settings. Replace defective head pressure control valves only with “original” Manitowoc replacement parts. Refrigerant Charge Verification The correct amount of refrigerant (name plate charge) is required to operate correctly at all ambient conditions.
Page 198
Freeze Cycle Operation All Models The R404A head pressure control valve is non adjustable. At ambient temperatures of approximately 70°F (21°C) or above, refrigerant flows through the valve from the condenser to the receiver inlet. At temperatures below this (or at higher temperatures if it is raining), the head pressure control dome’s nitrogen charge closes the condenser port and opens the bypass port from the compressor discharge line.
Page 199
NOTE: A head pressure control valve that will not bypass, will function properly with condenser air temperatures of approximately 70°F (21°C) or above. When the temperature drops below 70°F (21°C), the head pressure control valve fails to bypass and the ice machine malfunctions.
Page 200
Harvest Cycle REMOTE CONDENSER The head pressure control cycles into full bypass due to the pressure drop when the harvest valve opens. Refrigerant flows from the compressor to the evaporator through the harvest valve and the head pressure valve is out of the circuit.
HARVEST PRESSURE REGULATING (HPR) SYSTEM REMOTE CONDENSER ONLY GENERAL The harvest pressure regulating (HPR) system includes: • Harvest pressure regulating solenoid valve (HPR solenoid). This is an electrically operated valve which opens when energized, and closes when de-energized. • Harvest pressure regulating valve (HPR valve). This is a pressure regulating valve which modulates open and closed, based on the refrigerant pressure at the outlet of the valve.
HPR DIAGNOSTICS Steps 1 through 5 can be quickly verified without attaching a manifold gauge set or thermometer. All questions must have a yes answer to continue the diagnostic procedure. 1. Liquid line warm? (Body temperature is normal) If liquid line is cooler than body temperature, refer to “Head Pressure Control Valve”...

5. Discharge line temperature is greater than 150°F (66°C) [I0850/I1000 Air/Water Only - 140°F (60°C)] at the end of the freeze cycle? See “Discharge Line Temperature Analysis” on page 151 6. Connect refrigeration manifold gauge set to the access valves on the front of the ice machine. Establish baseline by recording suction and discharge pressure and freeze &...
WATER REGULATING VALVE Water-Cooled Models Only FUNCTION The water regulating valve maintains the freeze cycle discharge pressure. CHECK PROCEDURE 1. Determine if the head pressure is high or low (refer to cycle time/24 hour ice production and operational pressure chart for the model you are servicing). 2.

CLEANUP PROCEDURE Mild System Contamination 1. Replace any failed components. 2. If the compressor is good, change the oil. 3. Replace the liquid line drier. NOTE: If the contamination is from moisture, use heat lamps during evacuation. Position them at the compressor, condenser and evaporator prior to evacuation.
Page 218
Severe System Contamination 1. Remove the refrigerant charge. 2. Remove the compressor and inspect the refrigeration lines. If burnout deposits are found, install a new harvest valve, replace the manifold strainer, TXV and harvest pressure regulating valve. 3. Wipe away any burnout deposits from suction and discharge lines at compressor.
Page 219
9. Follow the normal evacuation procedure, except replace the evacuation step with the following: Pull vacuum to 1000 microns. Break the vacuum with dry nitrogen and sweep the system. Pressurize to a minimum of 5 psig (35 kPa,.35 bar). Change the vacuum pump oil. Pull vacuum to 500 microns.
REPLACING PRESSURE CONTROLS WITHOUT REMOVING REFRIGERANT CHARGE This procedure reduces repair time and cost. Use it when any of the following components require replacement, and the refrigeration system is operational and leak-free. • Fan cycle control (air cooled only) • Water regulating valve (water cooled only) •...
The filter-driers used on Manitowoc ice machines are manufactured to Manitowoc specifications. The difference between a Manitowoc drier and an off-the-shelf drier is in filtration. A Manitowoc drier has dirt-retaining filtration, with fiberglass filters on both the inlet and outlet ends. This is very important because ice machines have a back-flushing action that takes place during every Harvest cycle.
Charts Cycle Times/24-Hour Ice Production/ Refrigerant Pressure Charts These charts are used as guidelines to verify correct ice machine operation. Accurate collection of data is essential to obtain the correct diagnosis. • Production and cycle times are for dice cube - Half dice cube cycle times can be 2 - 3 minutes faster, depending on model and ambient temperature.
